'.sl VALUABLE TO TIRE CITY.
These annual fairs are OF great value to
Wheeling; they have done and will con.
tinue to do tho place much good by max.
ing it better known and more talked
about by the outside world; they bring
money TO the city and In one way or an.
other benet. every class, but 1t cannot be
expected that they will continue unless
they are properly supported by home peo-
pie. There should be a general 6utpour.
ing Of Wheelinites on each OF the remain.
i ing three days OF the fair. The presence
OF every business man Is due tho gentle
men who are at the head OF this institu-
ton and who have so ably managed 1t In
all it's detai!G, as an acknowledgement Of
their untiring efforts in behalf Of tho fsir
and Wheeling. Men cannot be expected
to devote their time to a public enterprise
unless they ore appreciated, nor can q
huge affair like the State Fair prosper uu-
less the community where 1t is located
supports 1t properly. Advices already re-
coived indicate a good attendance Of peo.
Iple from the country, and good turnout
each day Of home people insures this
years fair being like it's predecessors, 6
success in every particular.
